I think that there's a herd mentality here w.r.t voting. Thankfully the system doesn't let the mob downvote too far

Yes 2, 3, 5 or 7 only for easy steps. Anyone who has 6 easy steps to do anything is clearly an idot.

Banking seems a lot like a gambling except that it's heads you win and tails they lose. Lend big into a property bubble and you'll be rewarded with colossal bonuses. The bubble bursts, loans go bad and the share price collapses. However the

Whether or not taking one's own life is brave, having read his suicide note I think he lived a very brave life.

Maybe you are correct. But the trend is in the wrong direction. When look at world population growth there is imo potentially a population tsunami approaching. Maybe my pessimism is unfounded, most people here seem to think it will all turn

"Stating the facts makes it all seem far less dramatic, doesn't it?" I don't believe that I have stated any fictions if that's what your last remark implies. I had a look at the wiki page you linked to. Most of those 27 countries ahead of t

I wasn't trolling. The netherlands has increased its area by an extraordinary 25% by reclaiming land from the sea. Despite this the netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries on earth. It has further increased its population

What you say sounds right. I wonder what, if Heroin was as freely available as alcohol or tobacco, its addiction rate would be like. It's my suspicion that drug addicts tend to come from the addictive personality subsection of the populatio

The Dutch reclaimed a large proportion of their national territory from the sea, presumably because they needed more space and then proceeded to allow large scale immigration from Morocco. I wouldn't like to live in Holland. They're packed

I haven't tried crack or heroin either but I wonder if they're more addictive than alcohol or tobacco or anything else that gives instant gratification. I tend to lean toward the addictive personality viewpoint. For instance I know people

Amazon already has the infrastructure in place to allow people to sell physical books secondhand And now you can lend a kindle book and it becomes unavailable to you for the duration of the loan. So everything is in place to allow a secondh

Who do you think you are, Sigmund Freud? Of course Jews and Christians have a right to live in the Middle East. I hope you are not an Israeli and if you are that you belong to the lunatic fringe.

So the people who left Israel in 1948 and who now live with their descendants in refugee camps in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank are free to return to Israel? What percentage of the population of the West Bank were Jewish in 1967? The prop

Do you have similar doubts as to the ownership of Israel? I think it's pretty clear that the West Bank belongs to the people who live there, the people commonly referred to as the Palestinians. It certainly shouldn't belong to the people li

by VB6_Forever 16y ago
I don't think using ancient history, however well recorded it is or isn't is a good way to decide who owns what. We all came from somewhere else if you go back far enough. The Jews aren't the only ones with historical links to Palestine. It

The people of Sussex have long felt themselves to belong to the English nation. Israel captured the West bank in a war. I doubt that the population of the west bank will ever be assimilated and become patriotic Israelis. Religion, let alone

I don't have a fixed view on the issue of Palestine and Israel. Doesn't Israel have military control over the West Bank?

Dehumanising 'others' allows people to do unjust acts with a clear conscience. The flimsy anecdotal evidence you gave as the basis for your dismissal of the Palestinian people suggests to me that you are not so clever or talented as you may
